Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with pets and have a lot of personal experience taking care of dogs, cats, fish, and more! During my high school years, I dog sat for my neighbors who had multiple dogs and at some points puppies. I have also volunteered at shelters in college to walk dogs there as well! I adopted my own dog about 3 years ago, and have since put in a lot of time learning the specifics about dog behavior and what is needed to keep them happy and healthy! I am looking forward to meeting you and your pup! I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule.

Sarah was very communicative and courteous house sitter while watching our dog Callie! She handled Callie's medications perfectly, and Callie took to her easily. Would recommend!
